I love Granola Bars. Thanks dad for sharing your recipe! They came out GREAT! Because I used what I already had on hand, I substituted the chocolate version of Aldi's rice crispy cereal, and only added chocolate chips and raisins. I also added a few tablespoons of Karo syrup to make the bars "stick" better. I am anxious to try them again.....but because I don't think they are very "figure friendly", I better wait for a while!
